The buffalo is all gone, and an Indian can't catch enough jack rabbits to subsist himself and his family, and then, there aren't enough jack rabbits to catch. What are they to do?

The Indian is a human being.

I hear a lot of birds out there, and you could see some big jack rabbits, too.

I could catch a monkey. If I was starving I could. I?d make poison darts out of the poison of the deadly frogs. One milligram of that poison can kill a monkey. Or a man. Prick yourself and you?d be dead within a day. Or longer. Different frogs, different times.

We must not try to force him to take civilization immediately in its complete form, but under just laws, guaranteeing to Indians equal civil laws, the Indian question, a source of such dishonor to our country and of shame to true patriots, will soon be a thing of the past.

Another item that appeared in the backyard was rabbits. Bear would chase them away.
